AP U.S. History changes slow down a little

The New York Times reports that:
While the College Board plans to unveil a sweeping revision to Advanced Placement biology courses on Tuesday, it is delaying similar changes in United States history by a year to address concerns from high school teachers.
Although the current draft got 85% support in a survey of 413 AP history teachers the College Board wants to get that up to at least 90%.  For the new Biology curriculum, a similar survey showed 95% teacher support--and that document is scheduled for release this Tuesday.
